About: I’ve grown up always surrounded by many pets and have loved taking care of them, as I got older I’ve gotten more experience properly taking care of different kinds of pets. I also have experience walking dogs in shelters and have experience with senior pets as well! I work full time during the week but am available any day during the weekends and in the afternoons after 4PM during the week as well! I have a large yard and safe, walkable neighborhood as well as 2 friendly dogs. I would always be respectful of others’ homes and their pets needs and boundaries!
“I was very happy the care and exercise Leah provided to our dog, Walter. She was very communicative on the days when she walked him and kept me regularly updated by sharing photos and videos of their walks (and it always looked like Walter was having a great time). I would highly recommend Leah, and I hope she can spend more time with Walter in the future!”


About: I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets.

I’ve been caring for animals as long as I can remember. I have years of hands on experience caring for dogs, cats, & other animals through both professional pet care and my own family. I’ve worked at a dog daycare & in dog walking, caring for dogs & cats with different personalities, needs, & energy levels. I’ve also cared for family members dogs, cats, & chickens. I’m comfortable caring for pets of all ages, including senior pets & those who need medication.

I truly treat every pet as a my own, & love getting to know their unique personalities. Whether your pet is energetic & playful or prefers a little extra patience & quiet companionship, I want them to feel happy, safe, & loved while in my care.

About: I’ve had dogs all my life and currently have three dogs at my parents house that I care for regularely when my parents need me to and I love it. I’ll come with treats and if your dog has any dietary restrictiond please let me know :) I’m currently working for Arc Midhudson on thurs-Sun at the moment! Sometimes there is variation in that schedule but that it for the most part :) I have a medical condition that may make me have to re schedule appointments but hopefully we can work together on it !!

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with many years of hands on experience caring for pets of all kinds. I’ve worked with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and ages from energetic puppies to senior dogs needing a gentler pace, as well as cats, rabbits, and other small animals. I feel deeply attuned to each animal’s unique personality and needs, and I approach every pet with patience, empathy, and genuine affection. Caring for animals is something that comes naturally to me. Friends and family consistently rely on me for regular pet sitting and care because they trust me to be attentive, responsible, and loving. I understand how important it is to feel at ease when leaving your pet with someone, and I take that responsibility seriously. I currently work in yoga and childcare, which gives me a flexible schedule and a calm, grounded presence that animals tend to respond well to. Whether your pet needs playtime, walks, overnights, or meds/extra TLC, I’m here to provide a safe and nurturing environment. I would love to meet you and your pet and support their routine while you’re away! I work here as a yoga teacher and provide child care to local families, my schedule is very flexible and moves between Beacon and Peekskill. I am happy to adhere to the routines you have created and personalize care based on your fur baby's needs. Walking, overnights, any special care ( treatments/ meds).

About: I have always had animals in my house ranging from reptiles to kittens. Currently I have three dogs and two cats. Growing up with animals has taught me how to care for a wide range of breeds and temperaments. Along with caring for my own animals I regularly sit for family and friends. I also have worked in a pet store where I learned how to care for puppies and kittens properly in a wide range of breeds. Between caring for their health needs to how to properly groom certain breeds. I am excited to help with your pets needs! Pet care fits into my daily and weekly routine well. I work a flexible job remotely that allows me to step away from my computer as needed allowing me to care for your animals when needed! I will care for your pets with all the love and attention to detail. I have worked with dogs that are high energy and need long walks to older animals that simply need someone to hang out with. I will pay close attention to your details about how to care for your animal and also what your animal needs at the time.
About: Animals are basically part of my DNA. I’ve been walking dogs and pet sitting since I was a child, and I grew up surrounded by dogs, cats, and other animals. I’ve also been riding and caring for horses my entire life, which means I’m very comfortable with responsibility, routines, and understanding animal behavior. I have hands-on experience with pets of all sizes, ages, and personalities—from energetic dogs who love long walks and playtime to seniors who need a calmer pace and extra TLC. I’m great at reading animal cues, keeping routines consistent, and making sure pets feel safe, happy, and loved. I truly treat every pet as if they were my own. I work from home, so pets are never left alone and are part of my daily routine. My home sits on 3 acres of private property surrounded by a state park, which means lots of space for play and long walks or hikes. Safety and trust are always my top priorities. I care for pets by treating them like part of the family, whether they’re in my home or theirs. I stick closely to each pet’s usual routine—including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and rest—so they feel comfortable and secure. I make sure dogs get plenty of supervised exercise, enrichment, and attention throughout the day. I’m attentive to individual needs, whether that means extra activity for high-energy dogs, gentle care for seniors, or patience and consistency with puppies. I also keep pet parents updated with messages and photos so they can feel confident their pet is safe, happy, and well cared for.

I am thorough and patient especially when it comes to our furry friends. I currently work from home, so I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide attentive care, regular walks, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. I live in a community with lots of sidewalks and have a small front and backyard. Your dog will get plenty of love, attention, and playtime while in my care.
“I'm so grateful for Kristine and her help with my foxhound Cersei. I'm a single dog-parent and Cersei is a lot of work. Kristine is punctual, attentive, includes photos (in which Cersei is always smiling), and goes above and beyond to make sure Cersei is cared for. I can't recommend Kristine more highly!”

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins.

This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone.

walkers on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
